Re: [PHP] If PHP4 existed in 1995 we would of taken over the worldby now
I don't think we need spies - the ASP stuff is pretty out in the open as to where they're going. Visit www.ibuyspy.com to get some tutorials on how to use ASP+ in a commerce environment. There's some neat things, but most of it seems overkill, and some of the neat things still seem to lock you into a web page mentality (what if I want to output WML instead of HTML? - the template system idea seems suited ONLY to HTML imo). http://www.aspng.com/ is another site with a lot of info on the new ASP stuff.

Now don't get me wrong, I've been coding with PHP and have read every tutorial and article I can get my hands on in regards to PHP so I don't want to see my time invested go to waste. Maybe I should be asking on the developers list but I just want to hear some strategic direction or preview for PHP5. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] If PHP4 existed in 1995 we would of taken over the worldby now
What I am saying is that if php is always following or copying the technology that happened a couple years ago then what's the point? php will then always be known as the low cost option and project managers won't even give it a second look. What I am looking for is the cool factor. I know technology needs time to improve but what's going to be cool in PHP5??? It's like a race that never finishes and who is winning? ASP or PHP? Uh? The first version of PHP was released over a year before the first version of ASP. Heck, there were even M$ developers on the first PHP mailing list that at one point sent out a survey asking the PHP community what they wanted to see in an HTML-embedded scripting language. But sure, PHP will always be the low cost option. No real way around that being an open source project, and frankly that is a big feature and certainly not a liability. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

PHP5 will still run on your Free OS, your CLI OS, your Pay OS, your GUI OS, etc. ASP (of the VBSchidtz flavor) will only run on your Illegal Monopoly OS. It's so cool it burns!
